printing landscape via script

[robertsquestion]

Hi,

I'm using a Filemaker Application (5.5) on a server. In this application are a lot of scripts that use the scripstep "Print[]" (without dialog).

Now the problem is that I want a specific layout to be printed in "landscape" on default, for all users. If I go to (working on my own PC) "layout mode" and go to "File / Print setup" and change the Orientation to "Landscape", the layout will be printed landscape. I also "replaced" the print-script after changing this setting on my machine. But if I use the script from another PC, the layout will be printed Portrait again!

Do you know how to save the "Landscape"-printing setting in a script, so that all users will on default print a specific layout in Landscape?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Regards,

Robert

Print[]
perform WITH (unchecked) dialog


....Printer dialog is just as any other process of printing from any other programm...user has to specify what layout they want to use....
All the best!

I take it you are using the Server Version? I think (NB) you need to make sure everyone is disconected (from FMP) then make the change you describe.

....and use separate script for portret and landscape page set-up.

Let the user choose which setup they want/need...
